Registration is open for the Library Accessibility webinar “Transforming Librarianship to Model Neuroinclusion in Libraries”. It will take place on Wednesday, February 28, from 2:00 to 3:00 PM CDT. Please see below for more information, including the link to registration.
While libraries are increasingly implementing practices and services designed to serve neurodivergent patrons, such efforts have not yet extended to neurodivergent library employees. This session will introduce participants to the neurodiversity employment movement and its impact in other fields, such as IT. The presenters will also share results from an IMLS-funded initiative that highlights the voices of neurodivergent librarians and their journey of negotiating identity as they face barriers and enablers to their success. Neurodivergent librarians are an important part of the profession, so it is imperative that libraries adopt neuroinclusive practices in their workplaces. Come learn what to consider at your library!
The speakers are Christine M. Moeller, a PhD Candidate at the University of Washington Information School; and Dr. Hala Annabi, Associate Professor in the Information School at the University of Washington.
